The Capitals swarmed the Oilers in the third period, outshooting
them 7-0 in the first five minutes and 12-1 through the first 10.
Edmonton goalie Ben Scrivens was sensational, however, making 32
saves to preserve the victory and give the Oilers (2-4-1) just their
second win of the season.
The Captials (3-1-2) suffered their first regulation loss of the
season. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
